English translation of the principle

Lineage to a deceased person. It is established only within an action concerning a right or property. The reason for that is that its establishment in relation to the deceased entails a judgment against him. Example. - The expressly designated adversary: the agent of the absent person. - The constructive adversary: a person deemed present on behalf of the deceased when the latter is a cause of what is claimed against the present person. The consequence of that.
Arabic original
النسب إلى الميت. عدم ثبوته إلا ضمن دعوى حق أو مال. علة ذلك أن ثبوته للميت يستدعى حكماً عليه. مثال. - الخصم القصدي: هو الوكيل عن الغائب. - الخصم الحكمي: من يعتبر حاضراً عن الميت عندما يكون الأخير سبباً لما يدعى به على الحاضر. مؤدي ذلك.
